Submitting Pedigree to Your Project

Share your pedigree!--It may be the key to putting the puzzle together!

The pedigree is your family tree that has been proven through research.

As the term is used in Surname DNA Projects the pedigree consists of a straight succession from the earliest known male ancestor in the participant’s surname line, continuing through the direct male ancestor in each generation, down to the present male participant.

Each project website includes both aFAMILY PEDIGREE FORUM and a PROJECT’S PATRIARCH PAGE.

IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF A SURNAME PROJECT with a website at World Families, CLICK HERE to SEND YOUR PEDIGREE BY EMAIL for posting on the Patriarchs Page.

The Project Administrator will post it on the project's Patriarchs Page.

Please include the following:

Name of project

Kit Number if tested

Name of person posting pedigree

Email address to be posted with pedigree:

Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse of Earliest Known Ancestor

List each succeeding generation below, using only those four items of information (or substitute another item of information if missing an item)

If you are a project member who wishes to post a more extended version of your pedigree than is posted on the Patriarchs Page, please log in and post the additional information on the project's Family Pedigree Forum.

If YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER of a Surname Project at FTDNA, but you are an interested researcher for this surname, your pedigree will NOT be posted on the project's Patriarchs Page, but you are invited to log in and post your pedigree on the Project's Pedigree Forum .
